Tressfx: A new frontier of realism in pc gaming

[Lonbjerg]

Don't fret, I'm sure she'll run on your geforce just fine

Don't lie and sugggst I am nerveous...makes you look silly.
I'm sure GPGPU physics runs on NVIDIA...it's AMD I have my reservations about

So why are you so worked up about it then? You posts suggest to everyone that this implementation riles you something aweful :\

 

[DarkKnightDude]

I'm sure it'll run fine, but we'll find out for sure on March 5th when we see it in action and the performance. I doubt it'll have that much of an impact.

What's up with the AMD versus Nvidia battle? Oh wait, this is a video card forum.

We should be discussing the future of how this could finally lead to real time beard physics!

Or perhaps lifelike pubes, rustling in the wind.

Aren't breads facial pubes? That's what the girls tell me anyways :\

 

[Skurge]

I might get this. Its looking pretty good. Not just the hair, the game looks like it might be fun.

 

[Final8ty]

Everything you see is physics...or low level physcial simulation...it called a fact.

Yes captain obvious everything the moves is physcial simulation, what you see is gfx, you can calculate physical simulation without any gfx at all and you and have gfx without any physical simulation.

NVIDIA couldn't really care less for DirectCompute or OpenCL.

I think they care about DirectCompute, OpenCL and Cuda -- any API that offers GPU processing abilities is a potential boon for them.

Neil Trevett, employee of nVidia, sits as President of Kronos and the chair for the OpenCL work group.

 

[SirPauly]

No I find it funny that people suddenly thinks dynamic hairs is tha shizzle...you take this awfully personal don't you?
(takes another match in WoT)

Imho,

The key is it's wonderful to see competition, innovation and trying to improve gaming experiences from AMD and nVidia. I'm all for more quality and realism on hair.

My constructive nit-picks with AMD were developer relations and creating software tools for developers to use. Not being pro-active enough has tarnished their name brand.

AMD is taken steps and investing more in these critical areas to me, which should create awareness and build excitement for the Radeon brand name. By offering their incredible bundles, creates value to sell Radeon product but also on a faster track to raise more awareness about Radeon, their gaming experience strengths.

In the past, nVidia's pro-active nature was defined as marketing exercises, gimmicks but over time has a cumulative effect and more than just hardware but software.

 

[SirPauly]

Physics is about physical behavioural interaction weight and moment, you don't need Physics to put more gfx and effects on screen, that's called graphics.

Dynamics; to move and break away from the static chains of the past; to hopefully raise the bar of immersion, realism, fidelity and redefine game-play itself.

 

[Creig]

It's not...but because for once it can run on an AMD GPU...some people are all riled up...you know the drill

You mean, for once it can run on any GPU with enough power to support the features, not just on Nvidia's proprietary PhysX, right?

Any GPU?
You 100% sure of that statment? ^^

You guys would think this was something important like object interaction, or destructible objects...

Hair..

 

[AnandThenMan]

Have not seen the gameplay on the PC yet, only the intro stuff. But if the intro is any indication, the hair adds a whole heck of a lot to the immersion factor. And given the fact it is not locked into any particular hardware, what's to complain about, everyone benefits. The only people that seem to be whining and getting all bent out of shape are the butthurt fanboys with irrational emotional attachments.

I know right. It's a small step in the right direction. We'll have to see if they develop something that more meaningful to gameplay. BF3 was a big disappointment with Destruction 2.0. It felt like a step backwards from BC2. Now with AMD working with EA. One can hope Frostbite 3 will have better physics.

So this is for none GNC AMD hardware too?
You got any links to back that up?

It will most likely work with all DX11 cards, performance of lower end cards notwithstanding it's not a huge effect, as far as I can tell it's a static hair mesh with a more lively ponytail.

That stuff has already been done. I've never seen a game with really good hair however.

it the same tecnology used here...

it should work in any dx11 card....the big question should be "how good?"

 

[SirPauly]

I agree with AMD on Lara being an iconic figure in gaming and if there is any character that deserves realistic hair is Lara.

Good Lord, I remember the original Tomb Raider that really started the ball rolling for hardware acceleration.

I find it hard to believe that some people find this feature a bad one. If anything it will benefit everybody in the industry. The more advances we get on graphics the more realistic the games will be. Why make this a Nvidia vs AMD thing?
Green team needs to take a "group chill pill"

That have convinced themselves that there is some amd conspiracy b on the forums so they feel the need to express their angst through off topic garbage that doesn't make any sense.

Indeed.
I have seen some great looking gfxs screen shots that get totally spoiled when you see how it all moves and with poor animations.

What a false premise.
I am having fun with tthe fact that because suddenly something will run on AMD GPU's...some people stance towards "fluf-effects" change...try an keep up okay ^^
